This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Few miles after starting to drive error icon was shown on the display showing airbag icon and seatbelt icon. Was able to display the error code: Cc-id 97. The front passenger seat was occupied. The car was in motion when the error was triggered, at about 25 mph on city streets.
There is a problem regarding the airbag warning lamp and the mrs system. NHTSA recall 10025849 covers vehicles produced from 8/31/05 to 4/26/06. My car was produced in 6/2006 (just two months later) and is having the same problem but is not covered by the recall.
The contact owns a 2006 BMW 330xi. While driving various speeds, the air bag and seat belt warning indicators illuminated. The contact was concerned that the air bags might not deploy in the event of a crash. The vehicle was taken to BMW of richfield (746 danbury rd, ridgefield, ct 06877, (203) 438-0471) where it was diagnosed that the seat occupancy needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V071000 (air bags). The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 13V564000 (air bags) and 17V428000 (air bags). The contact was referred to NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.

The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer stated that the VIN was not part of a recall and the contact had to pay for the repair. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
Getting a hard warning for "passenger restraint system malfunction". apparently this has something to do with a sensor in the passenger seat going bad. This can cause injury or fatality as the passenger airbag will not deploy correctly. There has been a recall for this but my VIN was not included.
Passenger restraint system. Fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. The airbag stays off even after having a passenger on the front passenger seat. I also get a seatbelt sign even if the seatbelt is worn by the passenger. Went to dealer asking for $200 to check problem and $500 to repair.
Air bag warning and seat belt warning lights come on and stay on. Lights have come on and stayed on each occurrence. Have taken vechicle to dealer and shop to have light reset at least 6 times, only to have both warning lights come on again.
I got home from an outting with friends and "passenger restraint systems malfunction" appeared on my screen. Did alittle research, my passenger seat airbag will either deploy metal shards or not deploy at all incase of an accident. Or the seatbelt will not properly engage. The dealership says they are "VIN specific" and can only do my driver side. But everybody seems to only have the passenger side problem. They have the sensor in stock that can save a life, but they don't want to do the job just because my "VIN" does not match for the recall in their computers!
This BMW had a recall, we bought this car from a dealer ship March 2016, seatbelt and air bag light just came on. BMW should check this out at no cost and the recall should not be closed or there should be an exception when you buy a used BMW. It's a hazard if the air bag does not deploy or the seatbelt does not work
Recently the airbag and seat belt sensor indicated a failure. I can attribute such failure to a defective sensor (placed in the seat mat). When I contacted BMW usa, they refused to include my vehicle in the recall (campaign [xxx]). I would appreciate the NHTSA / dot to investigate expanding the recall to all E90 / 2006 BMW 330xi not just models produced after 12/ 2005. I took delivery of my vehicle in 11/2005. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Drivers side seat belt buckle/tensioner failed and would not hold onto seatbelt. This caused the seatbelt alarm to sound as well as deactivate the drivers side airbag
Air bag and seat belt warning lights (red) came on indicating restraint systemn failure. Batter changed three months ago. Car taken in to shop and system "reset" thinking it was due to the battery being replaced. Both air bag and seat belt warning lights have come back on. My mechanic told me there had been a recall for this problem and suggested I contact dealer. Called BMW of monrovia, ca and was informed that my vehicle id number was not listed for the recall. Since there have been so many complaints listed, should BMW issue a recall before someone is killed and not after a death as usually happens?
The contact owns a 2006 BMW 330I. The contact stated that the seat belt warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was 112,000.
Pass. Restraint system fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Continue to wear the safety belt. Restraint system malfunctioning!
Airbag warning came on and after research found a recall. I contacted BMW and they claim my VIN is not one of the affected by the recall, which appears to be a trend. Please assist in finding a solution to this extremely critical safety system.
